Jerry suggested Renaissance since we haven't explored the genre in a long time. There were a LOT of groans because, as some explained, when we explored Renaissance art in a previous group, so much of it was heavily religious.  We decided to examine that period's art but to focus on nature, science, and other kinds of work without religious trappings. Everyone welcomed this as a breath of fresh air.  Our Top of the Day is The Large Piece of Turf known in the Wikipedia article (here) as Great Piece of Turf, 1503 -- link --  A short video we watched about this wonderful piece  from the Khan Academy -- link --  Death and the Soldier, n.d. but the woodcut has 1510 at the top -- link --  Melancolia I, 1514 -- link --  Knight, Death, and the Devil, 1513 -- link --  Hase, 1502 -- link --  The Rhinoceros, 1515 -- link --  Here is the image & a wikipedia article about D ü rer's very odd Head of a Walrus, 1521 -- link --  An actual walrus head -- link --
